54: The club meeting [pt2]

The talk with principal Marble led to Horas regretting his life choices. He had not expected to ever come to a club meeting once he had graduated from the academy and started aiding the staff.

In fact, as a tactical agreement to not make the kids feel intimidated by Keith, the charge had ruled out Keith’s attendance criterion and given him a clean slip.

But despite taking all these precautions, Keith found himself in the middle of a club once again and with various other kids present around him.

He looked around to see Howard waving back at him with a happy expression. Beside him sat Emma who had her face buried in between a thick book and she was not lo able to look at Horas’s face.

On the other side of the room sat Regin and Duke who had managed to form a somewhat fragile friendship with each other. But Horas also knew that it had the potential to develop into something more if the story followed the original plot.
